myownhedge does not know the stem cell field very well.

Forbes 2011:
In the case of IntelliCell, the company focuses more on producing large amounts of SVF cells from just a small amount of autologous fat cells of about 2 oz. IntelliCell CEO Dr. Steven Victor found a method that allows the use of ultrasonic cavitation to increase the yield of SVF cells. By using the ultrasonic method, Dr. Victor says he turns the 2 oz. of fat into SVF stem cells of between 0.5 billion and 1.4 billion. The process takes just about 30 minutes at IntelliCell’s labs. Doctors then use the SVF cells for treatment of various ailments, from regenerative cosmetic procedures to repairing tissues involving damaged knees, back injuries, migraine headaches, and multiple sclerosis.
“It is very apparent that a person’s fat cells are the best source of stem cells, which are stored inactively in one’s fat tissues, for use in the fast growing field of regenerative medicine,” says Dr. Victor, a practicing dermatologist for more than 20 years. He says IntelliCell’s proprietary process makes the most cells from the least amount of fat more efficiently and less expensive than any other competing products.
A study of IntelliCell’s technology by Millipore, a division of Merck AG of Germany, confirmed that it produced an average of 10 times the number of SVF cells containing adult adipose stem cells from less than which the company believes is used by any of its present competition that use enzymes in their process. The study also showed that the SVF cells produced by IntelliCell contain all of the viable cells that are manufactured by competing technologies that use enzymes, such as Cytori. - Reply to
IntelliCell method is quicker, simpler, cheaper and more efficient than CYTX for stem cell extraction.

This competing technology will surely cut into Cytori's market.

Looks like the calm before the storm. This weeks update leading up to Mayo Clinic showcase could be the much needed 4th of July spark.

My feeling is BTX will buy the remaining Geron cancer ip sometime in 2014.

Looking forward to hearing how monies will be allocated

5 Yr chart looks like it's ready for another run. September is the big Stem Cell Summit where West will likely introduce multiple IND's, partnerships, Cancer detection update and more. So It's probable there will be a run starting in late Summer IMO.
Get on board...toot toot! -
West said more on hystem...."see you next week."
Leads me to believe there should be new pre-clinical data on the cartilage regen program.Sentiment: Buy
-
Buyout??.... Quite the opposite dummy. Biotime is the company that bought out Hystem, GeneCards, Geron, and soon another. In a few years after Biotime becomes a household name then they will IPO ReCyte, OrthoCyte and OncoCyte. Nice try bozo.

Good overview, I share your excitement, indeed great future here.

Yes good for bb/captJ and all the rest here. Any smart trader will buy in on the dips if they can. One right now!

It's funny, your average person hears 'embryonic' and they think 'BAD', or like allo.genic says 'no future'. Well Dr. West from Biotime was smart to claim ip on hundreds of hEPSC lines. Theses 'human embryonic progenitors' are isolated, purified, and scaled up......and are the GOLD standard and will be shot gun cloned for use in future therapeutics. Biotime now has patented over 7 different types of cartilage progenitor lines for use in their cartilage regen product. This cartilage will be coupled with their device which will get CE approval in the EU this year. The device is called Renevia and will first be used for reconstructive surgery along with Biotimes adipose manipulated stem cells. I suggest you watch the last few videos on Biotimes 'video update page' for more details.....oh and one more thing, Biotime will also announce a cure for cancer using their sp100 gene, and nano-paricle/peptide targeting technology that is currently under wraps.
